Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brownce at 100% against AfroIntroductions's 44%. Brownce also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). AfroIntroductions's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13K vs 24). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
